HC Deb 16 March 1977 vol 928 cc202-3W
Mr. David Mitchell

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what progress has been made with the regional planning strategy for the South-East of England.

Mr. Guy Barnett

The 1976 Review of the Strategic Plan for the South-East was submitted to my right hon. Friend and made publicly available last October. It has since been the subject of continuous inter-departmental discussions which will take account of views put to us by outside bodies and individual members of the public. I hope the Government's response to the review will be issued this summer.
